This was last summers toy.... sold it last month and I'm hunting for something different now... looking for a little more umph this go round...


The SIL and BIL have one of those and I’ve taken it fo a spin on the lake road between Kelowna and Vernon...sit crazy low compared to the trucks and SUV’s that are all around you. Lots of fun but definitely could use more jam.

i have a super charged 5.0 2011 mustang coupe with 8,000 km that i am getting rid of in the spring. Never seen rain or snow

Supercharged Callenger Yellow Jacket with 675hp enough umph for you.
23K kilometers.
There are several pictures in this thread.
PM me. Its all tarped up in garage but could dig it out.
Not a rock chip or door ding on it.

Although they definitely have more umph not quite what I'm after. What ever I buy will be driven lots and driven hard not after car show units. That Miata had 80k km when I bought it and saw 22000km in 5 months last summer, it was also a $10k car. I still want a convertible but a back seat would be nice although not necessary. I've been looking at BMW's (M3/Z3/Z4) Mercedes (SL & SLK) Solstice/Sky or maybe Mustang/Corvette/Camaro.

I have lots of time to look around, very surprized the Miata sold in February - was sad watching it drive away first time she had ever seen snow.

Lots of cool options out there but I'm not sure I'm willing to give up the convertible option. A lot more variety in coupes - Rx8's, G37's, Lexus Is, but there are quite a few convertible options out there in the $10-$15k range.

Love the look of the Saturn Sky Redline and it's a snorty 260hp
BMW Z3 & Z4 in the 3.0is 225hp same with the Porsche Boxter 2.7L
Audi TT is 180hp or 225hp in the 1.8L and 250hp on the 3.2
All of the above are 2 seater roadsters which was kind of a PITA with the Miata so I've been looking into the larger convertibles as well.

Whatever I end up with I'll know it when I see it

Ultimately I want a Laguna Blue E46 M3 convertible but they are hard to come by and a little more spendy than I'm willing to lay out right now.

My mom has the Saturn Sky Redline with all the basic bolts (cat back, intercooler piping, intake) and she loves it. My dad bought it for her when they first released it as a bday present. Or anniversary present. Fun little car thats for sure, quick and responsive.

The Challenger not a show car but a bit more than 15k.
Only gets wet when washed, heated garage for winter.
Last Summer round trip to Cold Lake averaged 10.4l/100km.
And it got stomped a few times passing cars.
9-9.5 is very doable for milage.
Have fun searchin, convertibles are nice.

My 2 summer rides.The Vette is totally stock,lots of fun with the six speed.
My S550 is a fun and comfortable ride,I have a Renntech tuner for it,really wakes up the turbos.
It surprises everyone I have raced.
565 hp and 705lbs of torque with all wheel drive,it hooks up!
Deciding which one to drive is sometimes hard...

80 Z28. My first car and somehow I still have it.
My Dad wanted me to get a new Lada Niva At the time lol.
Better on gas he said. Of course that didn’t happen but he sure did like driving this thing after we got it.

Great Memories. !!!//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200308/1743450b38a2d3aa14a7abf84f755011.jpg//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200308/2eb349662bf4ef283bb1259997fd6d6c.jpg//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200308/fa31c01dd8940dba335756788b4c8ba6.jpg

My 1956 f100,I built it in my teens back in the 90’s and then sold it.Got it back from the gentlemen I sold it too in the exact condition just last year, rarely drove it.He stored it in a heated shop ever since,it’s the most amazing find of my life(so far lol).
